Nursing homes throughout the nation have been aggressively suing residents, resident family members, and resident friends, for unpaid bills. Often, the family or friends of the resident have no legal authority over resident funds, yet find themselves being sued for many thousands of dollars. This is why it is so important to have this or another good Elder Law and Disability Rights law firm, prepare Assisted Living Facility and Skilled Nursing Facility contracts correctly for signature, so that only the resident is financially responsible for the care received.
